4.1. Bicycle Luggage Carrier Installation

1. Align the Bracket: Align the bracket with the lower fork position at the rear of the bicycle, ensuring proper spacing.



2. Adjust Bracket (if needed): If the bracket does not align with the rear fork, you can adjust its position by gently bending it by hand and pressing it. The bracket is adjustable from 120-157mm.



3. Attach First Fixing Strap: Attach one fixing strap to one side of the bracket. Tighten the screws to secure it. Note: Do not fix both sides simultaneously at this stage.
4. Loosen Middle Screws: To facilitate tightening the fixing strap screws, you may first loosen the middle screws on the bracket.
5. Adjust Bracket Position: Adjust the bracket to its final desired position.
6. Tighten First Fixing Strap: Fully tighten the screws of the first fixing strap.
7. Attach Second Fixing Strap: Place the fixing strap on the other side and fix it with screws. (First fix one fixing strap on each side, do not fix two on the same side).
8. Tighten Second Fixing Strap: Follow the same steps as the first side and tighten the screws of the fixing band.
9. Tighten All Four Straps: Ensure all four-sided fixing straps are securely tightened.
10. Adjust Rear Seat Lever: Adjust the rear seat lever back to the required position.
11. Final Tightening: The installation is complete once the middle screws are fixed and not shaken. Ensure all screws are tight and the rack is stable.

4.2. Waterproof Bag Attachment

The carrier is compatible with various types of bicycle bags. The included 10L waterproof bag can be attached using its integrated straps and buckles to the carrier.

1. Install Bag Bracket (if separate): If using a separate bag bracket, install it onto the main carrier.
2. Secure Bag: Use the straps on the waterproof bag to securely fasten it to the installed carrier. Ensure the bag is tight and does not sway.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Loading the Carrier

• Ensure the carrier is securely installed before loading any items.
• Distribute weight evenly on both sides if using panniers, or centrally if using a single bag, to maintain bicycle balance.
• Do not exceed the maximum load-bearing capacity of 30kg.
• For the waterproof bag, roll down the top closure tightly and secure the buckles to ensure water resistance.

5.2. Riding with the Carrier

• Periodically check the tightness of all straps and screws during long rides.
• Be mindful of the increased width and weight of your bicycle, especially when navigating tight spaces or making turns.
• The stable design minimizes swaying and noise, allowing for a focused and enjoyable ride.

6. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum alloy carrier with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For the PVC waterproof bag, clean with mild soap and water, then air dry completely.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all screws, straps, and connection points for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately.
• Rust Prevention: The aluminum alloy is corrosion-resistant, and the stainless steel screws are designed for durability. However, for prolonged life, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme weather conditions.
• Storage: When not in use, store the carrier and bag in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting & FAQ

• Q: Is the carrier compatible with carbon frames?
  A: While the carrier is designed with silicone gaskets to protect paint, direct clamping on carbon frames can be a concern for some users due to potential stress points. It is recommended to consult your bicycle manufacturer or a professional bike mechanic for advice on installing accessories on carbon frames.
• Q: Can it be placed on the front suspension?
  A: This model is primarily designed as a rear luggage carrier. Installation on front suspension forks may not be suitable or stable, and could interfere with suspension function.
• Q: How do I place the rack with the gear cable next to the kickstand on a suspension bike?
  A: Ensure that the fixing straps and bracket do not pinch or obstruct any cables (gear, brake, etc.). Route cables carefully around the installed carrier to allow for free movement and prevent damage. Adjust the bracket's position slightly if necessary to create clearance.
• Q: Can I hang a saddlebag on this rack or do I need to fix it with Velcro straps?
  A: The carrier is designed to work with various bags. For optimal security and stability, it is recommended to use bags with integrated attachment systems (like buckles or strong straps) that can be securely fastened to the carrier. Velcro straps can be used for additional securing if needed, but primary attachment should be robust.
